A WEDDING IN PORTUGAL

Jess & Ludge got married in April this year in Lourinha, Portugal and I was so grateful to have been there. Friends and family flew from Sydney, London and Paris to celebrate and it made for a beautiful reunion.

The evening before, everyone met up for a chat and a catch up, this time in a tiny old village. We stood outside in the street, laughing and talking whilst the sun set and the bar next door sold glasses of wine for 30¢. This is the tiny village that Ludgero grew up in.


Early the next morning, I headed out to photograph Jess getting ready with her mum, in a lovely bright hotel room. My favourite.

It really was a lovely day and I think you’ll agree that they’re very much in love. If you missed their pre-wedding photos in Paris, you can see them right here. and if you were a guest and would like to see more, you can request access to their full gallery, here.

I thought it was about time I got started blogging what we’ve been up to lately and thinking back, since this wedding in April, I’ve photographed a total of nine weddings in beautiful places. We always love our London weddings but we also like to travel and so far we’ve been to Stockholm, Provence, Cannes, Crete and Edinburgh and loved each and every single trip.  There are a couple of gorgeous weddings from Emma Jane to share too. She’s been to Mallorca, Bordeaux and even photographed a wedding here in a zoo. It’s true.

I’m gearing up for a wedding in Mallorca this weekend and it’s full steam ahead until then. These wedding photos don’t edit themselves, you know.
